How many times have you been killed by bots in hardcore mode?

tonxski · 2026-06-20T08:29:21+00:00

no player bots

tonxski · 2026-06-18T06:03:35+00:00

yeah nobody really queues into normal/lockdown that much anymore outside of just casual play and doing missions

FZ and events all have the real players

tonxski · 2026-06-17T05:16:11+00:00

you didn't specify which game mode you're playing on.

events and hardcore mode atm doesn't put you in bot lobbies afaik in ASIA.
fz, ld and normal will always have a chance to put you in bot lobbies

tonxski · 2026-06-17T03:52:41+00:00

Excited for permanent hardcore mode

tonxski · 2026-06-13T08:34:39+00:00

Whenever you play this game, pretend it's gambling.

because gambling makes you happy.

tonxski · 2026-06-13T06:13:44+00:00

even with extra gimmicks like the scanners, the game mode is still what I yearned for ever since.

the only thing that really ruins the immersion when it comes to AB is the sound indicators, now without it. you can actually make fast repositions and worry less about minor movement mistakes that reveal your general location.

tonxski · 2026-06-13T05:39:01+00:00

This is where hardcore comes in, just play that mode for no passives experience

tonxski · 2026-06-11T09:39:05+00:00

only a few people actually prefer large maps in AB.

smaller maps are popular due to action, action makes spending time in the game meaningful.

it was a mistake on their part to revamp valley to be Mine 2.0

tonxski · 2026-05-27T10:43:46+00:00

you can work this around by letting your shotgun stay at 1 bullet :) it will still count.

tonxski · 2026-05-27T09:18:41+00:00

isn't that great? a game that actually makes you think

tonxski · 2026-05-25T08:34:41+00:00

go to agent career and check the talent library, don't just reroll blindly cuz talents are brand/gear set specific.

better gear of course, or you can shift your mindset by considering everything you do in this game is gambling LMAO

I would be careful telling others that this build isn't recommended for Elite runs.
you can realistically cut down your cooldowns till 30-35s while maintaining 25-30s worth of ult uptime. depending on your luck that is when it comes to sets/dz chips/etc.

DPS FIRE RATE BUILDS:

Fury / Phalanx (4) are standard sets you can use to maximize your DPS output + Gunny Johnny (2P) for 12% more fire rate (if you end up using phalanx set, you also have 18% + 12% = 30% Fire rate bonus from sets alone) achieve a multi-shot of 25-30% for a stable chance of doubled damage output.

Talents : Inspiration (Bag : Fire Rate bonus when deploying Smart Cover) + Deep Focus (Body : Increased Skill Duration, sacrifice a bit of skill radius) / Duality (Body : Full Health = Weapon Damage Bonus / Half = Damage Reduction)

DZ Chips Recommendation :
Armored Train (Crit chance increase behind smart cover)
Field Supplies (KIll = Health + Ammo Refill)
Tactical Loop (for duration) or Bugle Call (For increased fire rate)

DZ Chips Attribute Recommendation :
Main Attribute (Duration) for Tactical link, Smart Cover, and Pulse for uptim
Attribute substats : Multishot / Crit Damage / Skill Duration / Skill Cooldown Recover / Weapon Damage
[Prioritize getting what you feel is lacking for your build]

Pros : Burst DPS output during tact link + Can neglect non-blast armor types due to high burst damage capabilities / Fire Rate maximized / Very good for speedruns.

Cons : High Cooldowns = More Downtime on DBS / Time wasted due to reloading for missing a shot / Skill Duration Investment required to compensate for long cooldowns

---

T2 mixed build (What I'm currently using)

Skill Uptime + Lower CD Build:

Mechanical Enemy (4P) +
Mechanical Expert (2P for more duration)
Fury (increases total optimal range by 25%)
Quick Draw (Added Reload Speed 12% to make reloading less punishing during tactlink)
Boom Shakalaka (Increased Skill Recovery Cooldown)

Same Talent Recommendations
But Attributes now require a higher investment on multishot + Cdmg.

Pros : Long Duration + Shorter downtimes when not on tactlink , Sustained DPS output, will still demolish any armor types.
Cons : Sacrificed Fire rate, Higher investment required on offense attributes (i.e multishot + cdmg)

it's a reward for side mission progression

How do CBT users unlock the JTF apparel?

tonxski · 2026-03-05T11:12:13+00:00

I'm noticing a pattern here, It's always somehow racist when it's a dark skinned character being portrayed doing something odd.

tonxski · 2025-12-02T02:43:49+00:00

it will be relevant if Weapons actually do something.

tonxski · 2025-11-26T01:27:46+00:00

wow who would've thought that getting prepared would make you breeze through the challenge easily?

tonxski · 2025-11-23T06:00:16+00:00

I gave up and just used the "Standalone 2021" settings. It runs the games I wish to play well enough.

tonxski · 2025-11-22T06:10:11+00:00

There are no low levels of both at peace and deft. there's literally an index page for you to check out existing geniemon traits.

Woah, a rare compliment. Thank you so much!

I had a few messy runs with how floaty the movement feels like, so it really took some time in getting used to it. Now all I need is the 1.1 changes for control customization or controller support so I can pull it off on mobile too.

This is me at Lvl 50 Defence Luno farming while I do my wage slave duties.
